Serice members and vets, what's your opinion of Pete Hegseth? This Reddit thread seeking opinion of our Secretary of Defense is very illuminating and bears reading. The opinions are mostly negative, with some saying he should be in military prison for releasing top secret info, and others saying problematic tattoos kept him from serving on the
honor guard during President Biden's inauguration.
Classic comments: "He was attached to my unit for 3 months. No one liked him, and he absolutely fucking sucked at his job. Pure fucking talentless psycopath that one."
"the idea that this moron puts such an emphasis on manliness and then installs a makeup station in the pentagon is fucking embarrassing.
The whole administration is run by a guy that never leaves his home without a full face of makeup and a guy that wears eyeliner.
By their fan base' standards, they are practically drag queens."
"I'm so glad I wasn't in a unit with him, then. I can ignore a lot of shit, everyone has different beliefs and upbringing, that's fine. I can not stand someone who is ineffective at their job, though. For that, there's no excuse.
ETA: As for my opinion of him, he can get the Hitler treatment from 'Little Nicky' and I'd still say it wasn't enough."
